Last night's Dynamite ended in chaotic fashion with AEW's President and CEO Tony Khan being lured into the ring by Jack Perry with the premise of reinstating him to the company. Jack would talk about the difficulties of being away but wants to put everything behind him. He asks Tony to reinstate him and to ''change the world'' *wink wink* together again. As Tony shakes his hand and celebrates, Jack Perry would shock the world by punching him right in the guts. The rest of the Elite would show up, tease a EVP Trigger while helping TK up only to pick him up and hit him with a TK Driver. They would leave Tony KO'd in the ring while talking about changing the world again, the infamous tagline used in the creation of AEW. Tony Khan's father Shahid would be shown worried for his son's health as the show closes.
Immediately after, this would appear on social media, with Perry claiming Khan got what was coming to him for costing him 8 months of his career. The bucks then ominously claim they had to do it as their final move and that The Elite have arrived....
Which brings me to the topic of this thread...who will The Elite feud with after presumably now being able to run roughshod over the company after a hostile takeover, so to speak....
some popular options:
#1 Kenny Omega
I'm not impressed...
The obvious elephant in the room is the injury Kenny is out with is currently and publicly not resolved, so let's get that out of the way first. He Is, however, booked for next week's Winnipeg show. While we all expect that appearance to not be a declaration of him returning to action, surely he will HAVE to comment on the actions of The Elite. Not only because he is one of the faces of the company and currently a big babyface, but because The Elite have also fired him from the group and replaced him with his greatest rival. Add in the assault on the CEO and it seems innevitable that Kenny will address this next week. Will they immediately take him out to prompt a return at a later date? Has he been working us and he's ready to go? I'm personally very excited to see what he has to say after the closing of last night's episode.
#2 Bryan Danielson
''If I die, I would trust Bryan to lead AEW''
This is a bit more an outsider choice based on a few outside factors. In a press conference, Tony once said Danielson was the only person he trusted to run AEW in the event of his untimely demise or absence. This would qualify. This could also be a vehicle to Danielson Okada 3, for example. Danielson also has history with The Elite dating all the way back to Kenny vs Bryan at Grand Slam and continued here and there when Bryan and Elite where reversed in their alignment.
#3 FTR
Much like Kenny Omega, the presence of FTR seems like an automatic inclusion. Jack Perry directly costs them the AEW tag titles. Their rivalry with the Bucks is an on sight feud that precedes the company even existing. There is a lot of history left to play off of, no even including anything Pepsi related. The original excommunication of Hangman Page from The Elite was a direct result of FTR's actions. They are also one of the few teams on the roster booked on the same level as The Bucks, one would even argue they are ''stronger'' than the aforementioned brothers. Dax being a loud defender of AEW also adds to the story.
#4 Adam Copeland
''The student surpasses the master...''
Another of AEW's top pure babyfaces currently and a title holder (this will be important in a minute). He has deep ties with FTR. The only hiccup is he is currently in a feud with Malakai, but let us assume he wins that feud. He would need a challenger. Enter Jack Perry. Jack Perry is the ex student of The Patriarch Christian Cage. What a fun story it could be for the student to take on the rival who beat his former master, and perhaps even defeating him in the process. This could lead to not only a fun rivalry with some backstory, but also a vehicle from Christian to return and for a possible fence mend between the two former tag team legends.
#5 Hangman Page
The Dark Horse
Almost literally the dark horse of this angle in my opinion. He is bound to return and will have to make a decision. Will he rejoin his brothers who only ''suspended'' him from The Elite (for an action they just committed themselves on a grander scale)? Will he decide to join forces against The Elite and rejoin Kenny on the side of light? Will he tease one way than stab the others in the back? Will he just be a lone desperado? I want to find out sooner than later!
Please give me your fantasy booking and thoughts on the above talent, as well as your thoughts on the angle overall right now as well as when it develops further!
